Changes have been taking place in Philadelphia since 1984. One by one, ugly graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, over 1,800 murals (壁画) have been painted.

The walls are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program (MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia’s Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP’s artistic director. When people ask her what their program is about, she will answer them with one word: hope. Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some onetime graffiti (涂鸦) writers even help paint MAP murals.

The MAP’s work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community. When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been “Safe Streets,” “Love and Care,” and “Peace Walk. ”

The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals. “The making of a mural enters people’s memory as a special, pleasant moment in neighborhood history” says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.
